Shrimp Lettuce Bowl
Tribune News Service
With Mother's Day just around the corner, here's a quick and delightful recipe that you can whip up in under 10 minutes.
This shrimp salad is served in a bowl made from fresh, tender Bibb lettuce—small, round, and crisp, and part of the butterhead variety. I always keep frozen shrimp on hand for a quick meal, as they defrost in just a few minutes with a simple soak in cold water.
The recipe features a fast and foolproof method for cooking shrimp that ensures they stay juicy and plump every time.

Shrimp Lettuce Bowl
Serves 2
3/4 pound frozen raw shrimp, shells removed
1 cup diced celery
1 cup tomato cubes, about 1-inch
1 cup sliced scallions, about 4 scallions
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Seval leaves bib lettuce (Boston lettuce), about 2 cups
1/2 whole wheat baguette cut into 4 slices
Defrost shrimp by placing them in a bowl of cold water for several minutes until defrosted. Drain and place defrosted shrimp in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Heat the water until it starts to simmer with white bubbles just appearing around the edge of the pan and the water starting to turn white. Remove pan from heat and drain into a colander. Run cold water over the shrimp to stop them cooking. Add the mayonnaise and horseradish to a large bowl and blend them together. Cut the cooled shrimp into 1-2-inch pieces and add to the bowl. Add celery, tomatoes, and scallions to the bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss the ingredients into the dressing. Place the lettuce leaves with the wide part of the leaf overlapping the sides of the bowl in 2 small bowls to form small cups. Spoon the shrimp salad onto the leaves. Serve with the sliced bread.

Max Homa Cheers Wife as Newborn Son, Austin, Adds Joy to Family
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. While the FedEx St. Jude Championship unfolded in Memphis without big names like Rory McIlroy, another notable absence was Max Homa. Unlike McIlroy, who skipped the event due to playoff strategy, Homa didn't qualify for the event. But the PGA Tour pro fulfilled his most important role as a dad and husband.

(Image Collage | Credits: @maxhoma/Instagram) Instagram On Friday, Homa announced the arrival of his second child, Austin Homa, via Instagram. "Austin Homa! 8/4/25. My wife is a rockstar, and Austin is very unsure of Cam (rightfully so). Our hearts are so full 💙," he captioned his Instagram post, sharing some heartwarming pictures of his wife Lacey, their newborn, and their first son, Cam. The six-time PGA Tour winner had revealed the pregnancy back in April, during the Masters Tournament, where he and Lacey posed in front of Augusta National holding a miniature caddie jumpsuit for Austin. On Friday, the snaps had all four happy faces. Homa met Lacey online in 2013, and the couple married in November 2019. Their relationship has been a steady presence in his life, often featured in his social media posts and interviews. He's praised his wife's resilience and warmth, especially during Cam's complicated birth, which involved multiple surgeries and an extended ICU stay. Not only this, but on Mother's Day this year, Homa expressed his love again, typing, "Happy Mother's Day @lacehoma you are truly amazing and I am impressed every day. We are so lucky to have u in our lives," on Instagram. With Austin's arrival, Homa joins the growing club of PGA Tour dads with two children, including players like Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas. Though he missed qualifying for the FedExCup Playoffs, finishing 111th in the standings, Homa's priorities were clear. "I need to win. I really need to win because my wife's pregnant and I need to go home," he told reporters during the 3M Open. "We have like two weeks left. It's a little extra stressful, but I think the only way that you can go out and win a golf tournament is by not exactly trying to win a golf tournament. So it's a weird headspace." Homa's next scheduled appearance is expected at the Fortinet Championship in September. It's a familiar venue for him. Homa won there in 2021 and 2022, and it could mark his return to competition. But for now, though, the leaderboard can wait. Max Homa is winning at life. More Golf: FedEx Cup Playoffs: Russell Henley Splashes Barefoot Shot to Avoid Bogey

Gisele Bündchen Posts Rare Photos Of Her Baby
It was Gisele Bündchen's birthday last weekend, and it looks like her celebrations involved a very special — and rather tiny — guest. For context, back in February, Gisele welcomed a new baby boy with her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. Since then, the Brazilian supermodel has been lying pretty low, having shared just one photo of the newborn in celebration of Mother's Day back in May. Alongside a selfie of her holding her new baby boy, she wrote on Instagram: 'Sometimes, the most beautiful moments aren't shared — they're simply lived… Lately, I've been embracing the slower rhythms, the real connections, the beauty in the lessons that come with being present.' And while we still don't know the baby's first name, Gisele recently posted some super rare photographs of the little one to mark her 45th birthday on July 20. Giving her 22.9 million IG followers a look at her intimate celebrations with family and friends, she posted a carousel of 13 photos, including one of all her loved ones sitting around a table, where Joaquim can be seen holding the baby towards the end of the table. In another picture, Gisele sits beside her father on an outdoor couch surrounded by nature, with her baby boy sitting on her lap. And in one of the following snaps, Gisele and the baby are rocking twinning looks in matching baseball caps as they admire a waterfall on a hike. Acknowledging her decision to lay low in recent months, Gisele wrote in the caption: 'Haven't been around here much, but I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all the warm birthday wishes. I'm so grateful for another trip around the sun and even more grateful to have spent it in nature, surrounded by love and my family.' Also in the photos was Gisele's 12-year-old daughter, Vivian, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Tom Brady. Notably, Tom and Gisele's 15-year-old son, Benjamin, was not photographed. Gisele and Tom divorced in October 2023. And during an interview with French Vogue in May this year, Gisele said she feels like she's 'earned' this new chapter of her life. 'I feel more comfortable in my own skin and have a clearer understanding of my priorities,' she said. 'I'm grateful for where I am. I feel like I've earned it.' Adorable!
